Anonymous's Review On UPES, Dehradun

Petroleum engineering was the most booming industry during 2013. Reliance industry used to hire in bulks. And placements were expected to be very good. Location is also very awesome, surrounded by mountains.

Courses were very condensed. And 7th sems was the one with max no. Of subject. Around 10. There were few good facilities and rest were mediocre. Peers were of very good standard. It follow cgpa out of 4. Over all the college experience was 3/5.

Got intership with ONGC. It was on site intership. Worked as drilling intern. On Gujarat Ankleshwar. No stipend. It was without money. Worked for 2 months. Experience were enriching.

Good. Right now placement of IT sector is very good. Companies like Flipkart, Infosys, ibm, dell visits the campus. For petroleum placement is mediocre now. Few good company comes but mostly just IT companies. Internship is good. ONGC and IOCL gives the internship.

Separate events were happening for each student chapters. Then there were two fests happening each year. One around new batch and other ignite was very fascinating. They had participation from almost all the college from the city.

I didn't avail any scholarships. But there were some for those getting excellent 12th percentage. Loans are available for the college. But with normal rate. No scholarship. One of my friend received scholarship for more than 1 lakh on tution fee.

There were full fledged sports field. Football, cricket ground. Campus was wifi enabled bit was not for students unless it's tweaked. Library was 3 storey. Had all sorts of books. Along with that it had several e-books, magazine subscriptions. There were specific labs for almost all segments. But equipments were not up to the mark. Either some were missing or yet to be installed.

College had a hostel but with limited seats for mostly one for girls and few students. But there were numerous private hostels. Which were 2 stars,3 stars. But their fees were very high. Hotels were near as well as at max 20 km away from the city.
